Yo, i want to start the wave process but i dont know whether i should cut my hair shorter to begin it. my hair is about 1 1/2" to 2" long. Is that too long to be a starting point? Also, if its not should i be using the hard/firm brush? Right now, i'm using a firm brush with sportin waves gold and water with the wave cap and durag.  Am i even on the right path?Confused

Yeah your on the right path, but you should check the previous threads for instruction. If you don't find them check the search. We really don't like to answer questions that have been posted many times before. Another thing is you should always post a pic when asking advice. That way we can get an idea of where your at.
CHANGE ON THE WAY !!

my last cut was a month ago...but i was just tryin 2 get an idea of how it would look...those picks are just my afro combed down. and is the #2 what u use? how low is that exactly? should i just wash it back out into the fro and have it cut with the #2 and start from scratch or wat?

Definately cut your hairShocked I see a little waving going on. But your hair isn't really laying down, its just down because it's being pressed that way. So cut your hair and try the wolfin' process again.

Young Hawk you haven't seen a girl with 360's, where do you live at. I'm from Chicago and seeing girls with 360's is so common, that they make me jealous.
